Introduction The Mercury range of radiators from The Electric Heating Company are specially designed to provide fast and economical heat when used in conjunction with electric and conventional boilers. An Aluminium outercase conceals an internal copper pipe heat exchanger which transfers heat to the radiator culminating in a high performance and energy saving heater Each radiator comes with an in-built thermostat valve body that is controlled by the TRV supplied The mercury radiators can be installed as part of an Electric Wet central heating System and as such such we recommend our award winning fusion boiler

2.

Storage_______________________________________ Mercury radiators should be stored in their original packaging in an upright position in an area free from changing enviromental conditions such as damp and frost.
